# Connected Integrated Payment Terminals Virtuagym Expands the Virtuagym Pay Solution By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-05-23 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/integrated-payment References: [insider.fitt.co](https://insider.fitt.co/press-release/virtuagym-expands-virtuagym-pay-with-integrated-card-terminals/)  Virtuagym has expanded its integrated payment solution, Virtuagym Pay, with a new range of connected card terminals. The rollout includes fixed terminals for front desk setups, mobile terminals for flexible in-club payments, and lighter options for smaller operators, along with tap terminals and tap app solutions that allow fitness businesses to accept card payments and digital wallets from different devices. Virtuagym’s integrated payment platform enables gyms, studios, and trainers to manage in-person card payments directly from within the Virtuagym ecosystem. Activities include initiating payments from the point of sale or from an invoice inside the software, completing the transaction on the terminal, and automatically linking each payment to the appropriate member, service, product, or invoice without staff having to manually reconcile transactions afterward. This solves a common problem in the fitness sector where card terminals operate separately from management software, forcing staff to switch between systems, review payments manually, and spend time matching transactions.
